Subject: | bleeding brakes? |
There was a recent thread (yesterday) on Vans Air force about brake
bleeding complete with pictures. Take a look and I think it will answer
your questions.

Subject: RV-List: bleeding brakes?
I will soon need to pour some brake fluid into my RV-6A and, I presume,
to bleed the brakes. I've never done this on a car, let alone a plane.
Can some one direct me to a web page that explains the process?
Thanks,

Subject: | trimming wheel fairing tire opening |
Its all up to you Tom=2C but I would think that setting the pants up so hig
h as to protect them from a flat tire would take away some of their effecti
veness. The more tire you can cover=2C the more they will help you go fast
. Mine are pretty low=2C and I have damaged them twice. Once from a tire
stem malfunction during inflation=2C and once taxiing from a hard surface t
o grass=2C the height of the taxiway was just a little high compared to the
grass. All I can say is think about where you will be using your plane an
d set the pant height accordingly.

Subject: RV-List: trimming wheel fairing tire opening
From: sarg314@gmail.com
I am concerned that the opening for the tire in my wheel fairings might not
be large enough=2C or perhaps I should say high enough. It seems to me th
at if your tire goes flat=2C the wheel fairing should be trimmed high enoug
h so that the bottom of the fairing doesn't touch the ground. Otherwise the
weight of the plane will be on the fairing rather than the tire.
Is this an excessive amount of trimming? I'm sure some of you had the expe
rience of opening the hangar and finding a flat. How did your fairings com
e through the experience and how high do you have them trimmed?
Thanks=2C
